Following the war, he started with Brewer’s Retail, and worked his way up the ranks until his retirement in 1985. During this time Ron served his community with United Way and the Rotary club . Ron loved the outdoors, and spent much of his time sailing, camping with the family, and playing tennis amongst many other outdoor activities. For those wishing, in memory of Ron, donations to the Nature Conservancy of Canada would be appreciated.
